Can anyone give me tips for the Clyde VI

 

[rose0904]

does anyone know if you need to prep a commercial answer for the simmons VI? (e.g., recent new story etc.)

 

[Asil Ahmad]

Does anyone have any advice for the A&O SJT test such as what advice for the numerical element of the test. Also is it like HSF SJT where there are right answers or is it like Linklaters CAPP test where it is competency-based such as looking at your com[etencies rather than a right answer. Thank you in advance for any help.

research the firm really well, know why you want to work their and what practice areas interests you, be prepared for a couple of situational scenarios and brush up on your skills. The interview is quiet long so take breaks in between and take it easy. I would also recommend keeping the firm's values next to you as you there are many questions relating to these. And good luck!

Anyone know when Links AC will be roughly (for Spring VS)?

Guys do you know how to navigate the A&O app, it does not let me go back and amend certain parts.

When you get to the end (99%) of the form it lets you go back and review/amend sections

Hi, is it better to do the Gowling Arctic Shores assessment on a phone or laptop? It says you can use either but I know sometimes the game-based assessments are easier on a phone? Thanks!

Last time I’ve done it on an iPad and it worked perfectly! Not sure about the laptop tho!

I think it really depends on your personal dexterity on either device. I would go with what you think you can respond to most quickly. For me, I'd do it on a tablet because I know I'll be quicker than using a mouse or touchpad on a laptop, but have a larger screen than a phone. But other people might find other methods better for them.

I find ipad much easier (so I assume phone would be equally as easy - but it might be useful to have a larger screen)!

If you do their practice SJT - the questions are pretty similar style to the actual test. In terms on numerical elements, it's stuff like reading graphs, working out percentages, adding sums etc. - you'll need a calculator. Not sure if there's "right" or "wrong" answers, they're just looking for you to demonstrate the competencies they value
